Max's 2 month appt

I don't my camera handy to upload any pics, but i thought i would give Max's update. Yesterday Max had his 2 month appointment. It is about 2 weeks past his actual 2 month birthday, but since he went so often at the beginning his 1 month was pushed back, thus 2 month was too. So we will probably always be about 2 weeks behind the actual month. Anyways Max was just perfect at the doc office. All the nurses loved him and his chubby cheeks and faux hawk. He weighed in at 12 lb 9 oz (50%), measured 24 1/4 in (90%), and head was also in the 50th percentile. Just for comparison, McClain was 12lb 11.5oz (50%) and 24 in (75%) at his 2 monther. Dr Mayberry said Max looked very strong and healthy, BUT he needs physical therapy!! Well, not really NEED it, but thinks it would help. Max's head tends to lean to his left when relaxed. The dr said that his neck muscles were tight and needed to be stretched to prevent his head becoming misshapen. If his muscles are weak or tight and he continues to lay on one side he could flatten out one side and/or push his skull forward on that side and then have to wear a corrective helmet. She stressed that it was nowhere near this extreme, but we needed to work with him and would suggest some therapy centers that could give exercises and techniques Michael and I could do at home with him. So, my lil Maxer is scheduled for his first physical therapy session next Thursday! Poor lil guy :( He also got his 1 shot that I allow and will get 1 more next time we visit. He screamed his lil head off when he got shot, but was quickly soothed by the bottle I had waiting on him ;) Overall, he is still perfect.

Pics will come soon! sorry!
